Programming in M Resources

The hardhats maintain a comprehensive web page of M links here. Thanks to Chuck Link for the pointer to this.

KS Bhaskar, recent recipient of the 2002 Linux Medical News Software achievement award writes: 'A good book for M programming is: Walters, Richard F. M Programming: A Comprehensive Guide. Digital Press, 1997. ISBN: 1555581676. In the US, Amazon lists it for $39.95 and claims to be able to ship it in 24 hours. An advanced online reference is Ed de Moel's MUMPS By Example http://jacquardsystems.com/Examples, but don't look to it as a tutorial.'

Alexander Caldwell of tk_family_practice writes: 'The documents that come with GT.M from source forge are very good for installing it and getting an overview of how the database works, and how a system administrator would maintain it, but without something like this you won't get far past just getting it installed: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/7041/mwm999/mwm.html start with the MWM001 link and look for the "teach you, teach me" link...

KS Bhaskar further writes: 'There is plenty of M expertise Down Under, and there is even an implementation of M developed in Australia that just went open source (http://mumps.sourceforge.net)...Open source nuts and bolts for connecting to VistA with CORBA exist: esiobjects.sourceforge.net and while a binding to VistA has not been released yet, perhaps one will emerge in 2003...'
